... and i have no idea what they need an IC for
looking it up, appears to be some sort of timer?
looks to be a constant current driver circuit
hence hte inductor.
and lack of any power resistors.
High vs low beam on that one likely only differs by optics (wide spread vs road only)
nah both high and low beam light all the LEDs at the same brightness
(and probley the side beams turn on for high beams)
.. lol all the leds?
yea at least one led is supposed to turn on/off
Looking at the traces im not even sure thats possible
Looks possible to me, assuming those two components under the orange/blue wire are diodes
Black is ground, orange is low beam, blue is high.
diodes have three contacts not two
Pretty sure those are just surface mount resistors
@cube that pcb is awful, why did they limit the sinking capability
never seen so much copper left out for no reason before
is that solder bridge on purpose, and is that a through hole diode used as smd?
It looks like an smd diode?
That bridge looks suspect
yeah looks like it is an smd diode, just looked weird to me
has pads on the end, looked like it could have been snipped leads to me at first
why dont you wick the solder bridge and see what happens
Hi there, having trouble identifying the problem with my yamaha pw-x mid drive unit. Seems the pedals/cranks have lost all resistance from the motor/drive i.e. I can spin the motor continuously with the pedals without any resistance and thus the bike does not go forward.
This happened on a steep mountain climb, something snapped and suddenly I was freewheeling üò¶
not fimilar with that unit, but chances are you fried the freewheel
if the chain moves and pedaling does not move you forward, its the rear wheel freewheel
if the chain does not move, and pedaling does not move you forward, its one in the mid drive.
If the chain does not move, and pedaling does move you forward, cool....
> If the chain does not move, and pedaling does move you forward, cool....
lol
Alternatively, if pedaling does nothing, but the chain moves on its own...
:Pikachu:
The chain does not move while pedaling. I'll look into the freewheel in the drive. Thanks.
Does anyone know why does my brake make this sound?
what kinda breaks are they, and does it happen if your not trying to push the bike forward/back?
It doesn’t happen if I don’t push it front and back
Resin disc brake
Only happens when complete stop
sounds like they are just snapping back under force when released
Somethings loose?
could be, or just the flex of the fork/brake mounts
ah I see
I’ll try to tighten everything up tomorrow and see if it still makes the sound
try and force the brake caliper around by hand
or yea just blindly check all the bolts that works too
(even better really)
also double check to make sure you still have brake pads
last itme my brakes got noisy, the pads where worn down to the backing pad (but only at the bottom, you could still see some pad if you looked at the top..)
ah okay
Also my rotor said resin pad only
What happens if I get another type of pad
I’ll try to get resin if I can
It will wear down much faster
ah okay 👌 I thought it wouldn’t work as well or something
other pads are harder and last longer, don't bite as well, but wear rotors faster (on account of being harder)
@Lychwee if you figure it out please do tell, I've had a sound that is 99% the same, but I have completely different components.
alright i'll let you know
This thing gave me a flat today, go big or go home, lol. (Thankfully my bike has a center kickstand and I have a well stocked kit I bring with on every ride, so I was patched and riding in just a few minutes.)
ooo nice 1
damnn
yea I don't think my armored tires would have saved me üòõ
damn AP nails.
someone needs to nerf those.
Too powerful, pls dull

@cube
@cnrd you wouldn’t believe it but I applied some pressure to my front fender and the sounds gone lol
Poor poor Marathon Plus
Look at that traction
(it was already dead)
mmm yes slicks
I think I'll try a Tour instead
front wheel drive is the hardest on tires
as they slip quite a bit
^^^
Nice brakes there
I need to be more on top of my brake pads
me irl
~~brake pad~~ bare metal go SCREEEEEEEE
Those magura ones wear so fast
The stock organic ones I mean
Yeah I'm going to try the ebike ones
That or I'll just go directly to Kool stop
Anything else people can recommend?
I'm using random aliexpress pads
That are like magura's semi metal endurance pad
@cnrd I’ve had good luck with disco brakes. Super cheap too.

But they have other compounds too.

Thanks!
Is this just pads getting old or
Could also be contamination of the brake pads
Or overheating but that is less likely on the rear
Can I just ride it out or do I need new pads
